Review of Stiga Kjell JohannsonWhen I first started out, somewhere around '80, that was with a second hand Stiga Kjell Johanson with Mark V 2.0 on both sides. I don't know why I ever changed, I think that happened when the first composite (carbon, kevlar) frames had exploded onto the scene and I needed new rubbers.
When after a longish hiatus I was drawn back to the game, the first thing I looked for was my trusty Kjell Johanson. Sadly, it's been lost in time. I'd be a sucker to try one again.
Things that to me at the time were very good about it were the conic handle; an unsurpassed fit, with very much feeling while still feeling entirely relaxed. As I recall it, the Kjell Johanson was a member of the "Offensive" family line, sharing that with the "Stellan Bengtsson" (that had an anatomic handle; I had one too, but preferred the feel of the KJ) handle. Both had a delicate touch, but also explosive reserves. Harder rubbers allowed for direct and aggressive play, the softer (often reglued daily) rubbers exposed this blade as an excellent short- to mid-distance looper's blade.
It did require accuracy in timing and precision; the current Offensive Classic, to me, seems to have a larger sweet spot, in particular. That left little room for cutting corners in hitting technique and footwork, and in retrospect even that slight weakness (if I can call it that) in this frame actually turned out beneficial to my development back then.
